Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
A robust AAC system is a critical part of literacy and language development for every student with Complex Communication Needs (CCN). I explain the importance of this in the presentation below “Communication: The Sky’s the Limit”. This video is from the 2019 Angelman UK Communication and Literacy Conference.
In 2015 I collaborated with David Niemeijer from AssistiveWare to produce a poster and a series of blog posts around the “Do’s and Don’ts of AAC”. You can access the poster and the blog posts below:
